Works for me:
$ perf probe sys_read
Added new event:
probe:sys_read (on sys_read)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_read -aR sleep 1
$ uname -r
3.6.11-4.fc16.x86_64
Also, sys_read already has a tracepoint:
syscalls:sys_enter_read [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_read [Tracepoint event]
